Title: stmpclean -- remove old files from a world-writable directory
Version: 0.1
Entered-date: $Date: 1999/08/04 20:18:07 $
Description:
The stmpclean utility removes old files (and old empty
directories) from the specified directory. It'll be
typically used to clean directories such as ``/tmp'' where
old files tend to accumulate.
The stmpclean utility never removes files or directories
owned by root. It is a feature, not a bug. Great care is
taken while descending into the directory, and the operation
is secure. Unlike floating around Perl scripts that do the
same task stmpclean never forks and consumes limited amount
of memory (these Perl script easily turn into forking bombs
when someone creates a lot a directories under ``/tmp'').
If your system is attacked and the attacker creates an
extremely deep file hierarchy, stmpclean won't add to the
problem by crashing your system trying to remove it.
